About Me
I am married to a great guy, Donny. He is a Union Electrician. I am the mother of 4 boys and step-mother to one daughter. I am currently a stay-at-home mom/ caregiver because my Dad came to live with me back in June. Otherwise, I am a loan officer for a mortgage broker and working towards my own Broker's license.
My Interests
I have lots of interests but have currently been going through such a change in my life that I am trying to pursue new things.
I love my animals (2 goats, 3 dogs 1 bunny, 2 kittens) and I'd have a whole zoo if the rest of the family was more cooperative about it.
I love being near Mt. Shasta to go skiing in the winter and near Lake Shasta for boating and wakeboarding in the summer. The boys have motorcycles which they ride through the multitude of open trails up here in the mountains. I spend a lot of my time just working in the yard, garden,keeping the house cleaning under control, home maintenance,cooking, dog training, taxi service for Dad and the boys and that sort of stuff. Amazingly, I seem to really enjoy it. (Most of the time)
Employment or Career
Loan Officer/Broker
I still love working at the school with the Junior High / Special Education students. That's my real passion.
Music I Like
To tell you the truth, I just listen to whatever the boys have on as long as it's not the screaming type/or foul language. I like the OLDIES- which to my boys is the music from my teen years.(80's) But I like Alternative Rock-MatchBox 20, Savage Garden. I do like Pink, and some of those groups. I guess I always like Country. Reminds me of some of the great times in The Way.
Books I Like
I can't go wrong with a good romance novel. Otherwise I try to stay up on some of the Best Sellers and I always seem to be reading a new self help book I hear about whether it be about teen boys or aging parents. I'm always game for learning something new.
Television I like
Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, House, Brothers and Sisters... And Yes, I finally got sucked into Desperate Housewives. Tivo is the best 10 bucks I spend on entertainment. I can watch without commercials and fast-forward through the stupid parts. I also enjoy Amazing Race because I get to see some of the world. I hate all the bickering-that's where I fast-forward!!!!
Movies I like
I haven't seen a new movie in ages! Can't say I like certaiin movies but I like certain actors/actresses. I watch the movies because of them. Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore, Tom Hanks, Denzel, and more but I swear the memory cells burn off with each child. As my husband says sometimes, we suffer from CRS. Can't remember shit!
Sports Teams I like
Always a Seahawks/Mariners Fan-For Colleges it's Ohio State, Univ. of Washington, and Michigan. Can't leave out the Foothill Cougars which is my boy's high school.
My husband is a huge Nascar and Drag Racing fan so I like Kevin Harvick (29)in Nascar and I have to root for Ashley Force in the Drags!!!!

I love the pictures! I have to scan some of my old pictures and post them. It is great to read about your life and see your pictures. You seem to have your hands full with four sons and a stepdaughter! I have one and he keeps me hopping. I didn’t recognize your name at first, but when I saw your maiden name I thought - OMG! It has been a long long time!!!
Love,
Holly (McCulloch)
